Post #2 has been updated with a quick little starting off point for those of you who are anxious to begin while Freeza's tutorial is still under construction. I will attempt to help Freeza with his guide and help to answer questions within the thread. However, this guide is completely Freeza's. Any information that I provide that might conflict with or contradict anything in the guide should be disregarded until such time as I can edit my posts.
[HTC EVO 3D] KrisHilbun:
I see that this is under the "EVO 3D" Section, But this seems like a general rom guide. Will it extend later into how to put only onto a EVO 3D? Curiosity is all.

edit;

Ooops :|

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Alright Freeza, maybe you can help me out with this.

I've been trying for quite some time now to get my phone to recognize Bold fonts as well as regular ones, because many apps use Bold text to signify unread or new messages/content.

Here is the pack I created based off a different flashable zip package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/FontPack-SegoeWP.zip

It flashes properly, but only the Segoe Light shows up. I have Segoe (regular) renamed as DroidSans-Bold.ttf, but apps that are supposed to call for it aren't using it. Why not? Is Gmail using it's own system for fonts, do I have to rip open its APK and edit that instead? Any help would be awesome :)
[HTC EVO 3D] bonell:
Very usefull

Very usefull, gonna use it for sure! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
You should add how to change app defaults and how to change kernels, the whole nine yards(:
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
A little tip for those of you trimming off the default ringtones; if you choose to put your main favorite ringtone in the media folder, you won't ever have the issue of the ringer defaulting to an onboard sound if you get a call while in disk drive mode.

how do you zip the file back up and does anyone know how to edit the unknown sources so it doesnt need to be checked ?

now how do you repackage this I dont see info on how to do this ive tried to just compress it with winrar but that didnt work?
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
That worked for me. Just re-zip it and flash
[HTC EVO 3D] DXL007:
Awesome idea.. this will get people like my self who want to learn this off the fence and get started.

One of the bigest pains for me is to have to reinstall apps after I flash a ROM. So I would also like to know how to get the data side of an app in the ROM along with SMS and MMS.

Thanks

[HTC EVO 3D] szainmehdi:
I modded viperROM RC1.3 to my satisfaction, but it won't flash. All I did was add some APKs to system/app, add a bootanimation, and change fonts. I also changed build.prop. Is there anything special that needs to be done to zip it up?
[HTC EVO 3D] teshxx:
Great post. I am thinking about using "RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.35.666.1_Radio_10.50.9007.00U_10. 12.9007.21_2M_release_200555_signed" rom. I know how to use dsixda and stuff. Know how to change/flash RIL/Radio. My question is how do I add Tmobile US Wifi calling to this rom (after I put it thru dsixda) ?

[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
Outstanding guide. Looking forward to updates/revisions.

I've looked into many of these folders/files before and felt like i had a good grasp on what they were but resisted the nerd urge to modify stuff without reading up on it first. I'm glad you can put some of my curiosities to rest. I think i'll go ahead and work on trying to build something basic to play with while I try and learn more on some of the advanced features.

With a rooted evo and a full nandroid backup....whats the worst that could happen with giving it a shot =-)

^Now watch me brick my phone somehow haha just kidding.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
Any upcoming news on the rom progress or further guidance?

I've been doing a lot of poking around...still on a stock ROM but i've tweaked a lot haha.

[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Very Nice Thread man, Thank You!
[HTC EVO 3D] {LCD}Stelios:
Very nice and well explained.

If I had a flashable lock ring how would I go about including that in the ROM?

I tried last night, first I took out the two APK's and put them in /system/app/ and replaced the two originals. zipped it back up and flashed it.

Didn't work had no lock ring at all.

Then I copied over the other two folders that were in the flashable zip for the lock ring and overwrite the originals. system and META-INF.

Tried flashing the zip through recovery but wouldn't install.

Thanks.

Also when editing the language settings

<module name="language">

<function>

<set name="single">

<item name="total_list">cs_CZ;de_DE;en_AU;en_GB;en_SG;en_US;es_US;fr;it;ja;nl_NL;pl;ru;zh_CN;zh_TW;</item>

<item name="cs_CZ" type="boolean">yes</item>

<item name="de_DE" type="boolean">yes</item>

do you just change >yes< to >no< or do you delete the whole string?
[HTC EVO 3D] okyere:
How do you repackage to flash rom

Thanks for this tutorial. My question is, how to I repackage the rom back into a .zip file so that it is flashable?

I tried it. I added two apks to the system/app folder. Then I created a new zip from the whole rom; then I signed it. When I tried to flash it, it failed. So clearly, that's not the way. Please help me anyone. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] deetailed:
This definitely looks easier than the existing ROM-cooking guide for my device. I usually go through the excruciating method of manually replacing and deleting apps after flashing a new ROM, so if I can get this to work it'll be most helpful. Thanks for writing this. Will read up more closely :)
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Updated, sorry for the delay guys. I know it keeps happening, but I am trying here!
[HTC EVO 3D] okyere:
Hey Freeza, thanks for this excellent tutorial. My quick question is, how do I repackage the end results into a flashable rom (.zip file). I tried something a few days before and it would not flash on my phone. Can you just tell me that part. Otherwise, I don't get to experience my 'new creation' lol. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] malicon:
great guide, thanks again. i'm modding away on my favorite ROM, but like others, I'm having trouble zipping them back up to flash. I tried zipping using windows explorer, 7zip and winRAR, but none of the zips I make will flash.

is there a specific format that the zip needs to be in in order to flash through TWRP?
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
I tried adding about 75 apk's to the /data/app/ folder but only about 1/3 of them actually installed?

It seems kind of random, like some in the A's installed sprinkled all the way down to the Z's. My phone didn't run out of memory cuz it still shows like 300+mb left.

Am I missing something?
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Not all apps can run in /system/app. You may run into problems with permissions and signatures with some apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] marty331:
Sooooo is there a way to get those apps to run someplace else??

[HTC EVO 3D] neuropass:
I've seen this before. some dev is able to move all the apps in that folder with no issues. How is it done?

+1 but apparently this is way above the average users:

"The truly adventurous can take a stab at modifying the smali dis-assembly prior to building the APK. The syntax is a bit difficult to follow at first, but with proper modifications you can adjust the image dimensions, rendering locations, and much more. I found it useful to pull the classes.dex file from the APK, convert it from .dex to .class format using dex2jar, and then browse the reconstructed source using JD-GUI. It is important to remember that the reconstructed source is not a 100% match to the original source code. However, it is useful for comparing against and understanding the corresponding smali source."

+1 otherwise how do we test it? lol
[HTC EVO 3D] louis47:
+ 1 . Many questions, no answers ? There is more to learn about managing Custom Roms of course. Or everyone does't by himself? Or the Custom Rom school, perhaps. I mean, I'm greatfull for the opportunity here given but there is more and i don't find the answers.

English isn't my first language.
[HTC EVO 3D] xavier86:
I'm not a Dev. But I work in manufacturing, injection molding to be specific. It is a nich trade when it comes to complicated setups and processing everyone does things different ways. But the fundamentals are all the same. I assume it is the same with rom brewing. It is a very nich thing and not a lot of successful devs and the same with my trade is they arent always open to reveal their secrets. But this seems like a nice starting point and all the resources are are there. People always want an answer to a question but dont bother to look at a bigger picture and try to find the answer themselves.

Ill be studying this and maybe if I feel confident in my work ill brew something up. The tough thing is the learning curve.

Hint: I'm sure if someone contacted a Dev and asked nicely I'm sure they would get help. But you have to try to help yourself before asking for help. That's how you learn and it sticks.

Great post. And thank you for revealing a good starting point

Apparently this feature is acting up on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on their G2x and if so how did you manage to get it working?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DustyVV:
What sort of issues are you having, and what ROM are you using? I had some issues with bluetooth and tts with CM7. I've switched over to EB 2.3.3, and all is working well.

Make sure you have everything you need installed.

Go to settings/voice input & output/text-to-speech settings/

If "Install voice data" isn't grayed out, click on that...it will take you to the market to download the voice engine.

I haven't noticed any problems with my tts, running my current ROM, but I also don't use Pico. I use Svox. It cost around $2-3 for the voice download, but it's much nicer than Pico.

Good Luck. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
I'm running stock GB 2.3.3

I was hoping it would read text as they came in similar to the new WP7 Mango update but apparently the framework doesn't support that yet.

It takes me to the market, i download the application but then it uninstalls itself and shows that i have never downloaded the application before. I might install Faux123 rom and see if i can get it to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DustyVV:
What app are you trying to d/l? I've never really tested out text message readers. I know Handcent will read the text, but IDK if you can set it to read as they come in.

I did test out Vlingo way back, and I must say...it was pretty good. I just don't like that it requires data usage (I'm on a limited data plan). But, for reading texts, Vlingo was pretty awesome. It even understood things like LOL (rather than say L-O-L, it would read it as "laughing out loud"). It even translated WTF, which of course made me laugh like a 12yr old kid. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
I'm not downloading any. I was hoping the stock messaging application would do this as i kind of like the layout but sucks as far as security is concerned but that is an android thing.

I'll give the Vlingo a try and see if it works.

Thanks for the help.
